sstar1308 · October 2009

so last night i am getting ready for bed and i have blue veins all over my boobs and down my sides i like like a creature from xmen! Does anyone have these, are they going to go away? Should i be concerned?

I have blue veins in my boobs that have become more noticeable but nothing else yet. You might be getting varicose veins! They may or may not go away

I've got them... they're called spider veins i think. I believe they'll go away after pg!... I hope so at least!

yes they are all over my boobs! lol ?And there's a blue vein (not sure if other people notice it on me yet) and it goes around one of my eyes!! ?It's awful. lol ?I sure hope they go away! ?But I wouldn't be concerned, I read in one of my preggy books that's it is totally normal for your veins to become more noticeable.

From what I've read, it's all normal. I have a lot of blue veins around my boobs and stomach. They should go away.

thanks girls!! I have never noticed them before so it was just a little alarming!

They aren't spider or vericose veins. They are normal veins that are more noticable now because of increased blood flow and the fact that your belly and bood skin is being stretched and is therefore more translucent. It won't look that way forever!

yep, I've got them down the sides of my stomach on both sides - mine showed up around week 7! from what I have read and what the doc has told me this is completely normal and healthy - it is because our veins are pumping more blood from the heart to the baby so they appear darker. It's supposed to go away after pregnancy.

Yeah, they certainly aren't part of the "glow".

I second this. And yes, speaking from experience, they will go away after birth.

I know they suck! They DO go away! I just try not to look.

You have more blood flowing through you during pregnancy. Get used to them because they're not leaving anytime soon

Haha, yeah, I don't have glow either.

Totally normal. It's from the extra progestin in your body and of course, increased blood flow.

i have them too! and to make it even better last night as im getting ready for bed and preparing for my H to give me my shot (bloodthinners everyday...) He looks at me and goes what is that?! on your boob and points to my blue vein...they are not always so noticable as they are after i get out of the shower or if im really hot/cold...but last night he saw them. He is usually really good with all of my pregnancy symptoms and makes me feel better but i guess this one just caught him off guard. Confused
